When got to his room, he didn't immediately go to sleep. "I still haven't decided which weapon to choose, I don't know yet but the beginners' competition is coming soon, I should act fast". All these he said in his mind.
"Bruv'er you're back, I can't believe you got yourself a girlfriend. So tell me, who's the girl? Simon asked with a wide grin on his face
"Yeah tell us who could make you cancel out game night with your bros" Another of his roommates said as sat up on his bed, who went by Jasper. He was followed by the remaining two roommates who were Carter and Loid, who raised questions of their own as they sat up on their bed.
"These guys.... they weren't even asleep the whole time" Ian said in his mind with a flustered look on his face. "I don't have a girlfriend" Ian stated. We'll find out eventually, you know, it's better to let the cat out the bag right here, right now" Carter replied with a grin.
"Sigh, I really don't have, I would love to convince you, however I am spent, so goodnight" Ian said as he got under his bed Sheet.
Few hours later....
Ian was looking at himself sleeping on his bed. "What the..." before he could finish his words he felt pulled by a mysterious force. He found himself in a unique scenery, everything else didn't matter. It felt like there was only him and the elements in the environment which were moving towards the same point. They combined to make a symbol and then he heard a voice in his head saying "condense". Just as this word was said, Ian felt another pull which returned him to his body, prompting him to wake up. "Strange" he said before he went back to sleep
The next day....
After finishing his classes, Ian was going to grab something to eat when he felt someone grabbing him by his shoulders. He tried to remove the hand from his shoulders with his other hands but it was also grabbed. The next thing that happened was that he got flipped over and landed on the floor with his face facing down. He looked up to see who did his to him and he immediately recognized the person, It was karl. He had a muscular build, but the catch was that he was the dean's grandson. So even if he wanted to do anythjng to the bastard he couldn't really do it and risk his parent's disappointment in him. But that didn't mean he would just take it lying down.
"Why?" Ian asked, surprisingly calm. Although a crowd had gathered around them they didn't really care. Ian was surprised by the next words he said. "Because you're weak, and I can't have a weakling as my teammate in the coming rookie competition" Karl said. Not that he was not surprised by what he said, but he was surprised by the manner he heard it. He was very sure that he was the only one that heard what he said despite the crowd that gathered around them because he was hearing his words at a frequency he had not heard before, a frequency which mundanes cannot hear. " Then attacking me wasn't neccessary" Ian said as he got up to his feet. Karl's friends behind him laughed after he said so. "Besides it's shadowhunter exclusive" he continued.
"You have heard?" Karl asked and Ian raised his brows in response. "Downworlders are involved now" Karl continued.
"Alright, but know this, I'll definitely pay you back for this" Ian said as he got on his way to his room. He had lost his appetite. "I'll be waiting" karl laughed as he said so
All the while, the crowd thought they were just mouthing words and had therefore dispersed before they finished their conversation.
Later that day, Ian was seen browsing the internet, A dark net to be precise. "What do you need a gun for bro?" simon questioned him
"Just... studying it's mechanics" Ian replied, not taking his eyes off the screen.
